Insurance Versus Assurance. Part [2] 04/08/2025 (Morning thought)

Hebrews 10:37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

As many earthly systems which we have become so accustomed to are uprooted, and as safety nets that we have come to depend on are dismantled, we will find it necessary to revisit the ways, and means God given us to live by in His word. We have become accustomed to healthcare systems and monetary systems, and we currently depend on healthcare systems with health and home insurance to help mitigate the risks that are being posed by an increasingly warming planet, and by the increase of diseases and pestilences the world over.

There are king tides in many places where flooding did not previously exist in former years. I personally visited a home on the water in Surfside Miami some years ago when water levels were 6 feet lower than they are currently, and with the increasing intensity and frequency of hurricanes, according to the Bible, the worst is yet to come.

Hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires are becoming more costly, they are lasting longer, and they seem to be covering larger swaths of territories as things on planet earth continue to deteriorate. The fact is that most of the costliest hurricanes, with the exception of hurricane Andrew have all occurred within the past twenty years, and this bears witness to the veracity of the predictions made in the Bible.

Luke 21: 25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

Insurance Versus Assurance. Part [1] 04/08/2025 (Evening thought)

Isaiah 32: 17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever. 18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.

Even though the above passages refer primarily to the earth made new, the statements also apply in some measure to life on planet earth, because The Lord has put in place certain systems to help those who trust in Him, to navigate and mitigate some of the difficulties and challenges we encounter in our sojourn down here. For instance, the angel of The Lord encamps around them that fear Him, and He delivers them, so that a measure of peace, protection, and security is made possible through the providential interventions of God.

Now, this does not mean to say that in every single case, without exception, that this will ring true, for there are times when the Christian might have to confront challenges that are incidental to everyone else. However, we are always much better off under the shadow of The Almighty. Hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes and accidents do not generally differentiate between a Christian and an unbeliever, however there’s no doubt that in many instances God has intervened to deliver those who trust in Him. That is an undisputed fact.

That being said, individuals and families within the remnant church, and indeed, all sincere believers the world over, who know what is coming should position themselves intelligently, according to what is written. The reason why this counsel is necessary is so that when the going gets rough you would have had an intelligent understanding of the ways, and means to be adopted as the crisis deepens upon the earth.

Psalms 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
